We've come a long way since 9/11 in confronting aviation security, cyber security, emergency preparedness, but it is important to recognize that only a few days after 9/11 our nation was confronted with a major anthrax scare, and we have collectively not focused enough over the past decade on bio-hazards or bioterrorism. What about our nation's efforts to deter biological threats? Seemingly benign activities such as children coughing or sneezing without covering their faces, or the business traveler determined not to let a 102 degree fever interfere with getting to a business meeting serve as potential vectors for the introduction and transmission of infectious disease. Worse yet, terrorists intent on covertly releasing odorless, colorless biological weapons threaten to spread biological agents throughout the country. Authorities may not notice an attack for days.  Read the monograph. Thank you to Council member The Tauri Group for sponsoring this monograph.
